Members chris032188 Posted October 4, 2022 Members Report Posted October 4, 2022 My 206rb-1 seems to be only getting around 4SPI at maximum when the manual says around 2.5 should be maximum. I believe it has something to do with the presser feet timing. I have tried to reset it according to a video I seen on youtube where you loosen the flywheel depending on thickness of material, then lower needle to the material and loosen the 10mm and retighten, but it still seems like it is way shorter then it should be getting. Anyone have any info on how to properly time / set these feet for the lowest maximum stitch per inch?

Members chris032188 Posted October 4, 2022 Author Members Report Posted October 4, 2022 Sorry if I am explaining it poorly. Im getting roughly 6mm stitch length with lever set to max, when it should be able to achieve a 10MM stitch length.
